Liebherr's Commitment to the Environment
The components of Liebherr products can be recycled when the necessary
resources are applied. A concern for the environment and a desire to protect
resources has lead to increased levels of recycling year after year. When
Liebherr manufactures products, it is essential that the recyclable recovery rate
of the materials we use constantly increases.
Recycling is a common goal among all manufacturers, municipalities and
recycling companies to protect our environment. Protecting the environment
and producing products which have a low impact on the environment, is one
of Liebherr's core values. Whether you are replacing a unit or starting fresh,
remember to dispose of your old appliance in an environmentally safe and
friendly manner.

I. Safety Warnings
General Remarks
II. Electrical Requirements & Safety
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz, 15 Amp (20 Amp for side-by-side
installation) fused electrical supply is required. Connect
undercounter wine cabinet to a 115 VAC, 10 amp (15
Amp for side-by-side installations) circuit that is con-
trolled by a circuit breaker or fuse.
We recommend using a dedicated circuit for these ap-
pliances to prevent electrical overload. Comply with
the National Electrical Code as well as local codes and
ordinances when installing the receptacle.
The power cord is equipped with a three-prong (ground-
ing) plug for your protection against possible shock
hazards. To maintain this protection:
• Do not modify the plug by removing the round ground-
ing prong.
• Do not use a power cord that is frayed or damaged.
Do not ground to a gas pipe. Check with a
qualified electrician if you are not sure the
appliance is properly grounded. Do not have
a fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit.
ELECTROCUTION HAZARD
Electrical Grounding Required. This
appliance is equipped with a three-
prong(grounding) polarized plug for your
protection against possible shock hazards.
• DO NOT remove the round grounding
prong from the plug.
• DO NOT use a two-prong grounding
adapter.
• DO NOT use an extension cord to connect
power to the unit.
III. IceMaker (if equipped)
The icemaker is located in the freezer compartment.
It must be connected to the water supply to function
properly. The appliance must be level for the icemaker to
function properly.
The water pressure must be between 21.8-87.0 psi (1.5-6 bar).
Use a 1/4" OD copper line to connect the water supply to
the solenoid valve. This is not supplied with the refrigera-
tor.
If you have hard water, we recommend you install a
water softener. Also, a filter must be installed if the water
contains solids such as sand. All equipment and devices
used to supply the water to the appliance must comply
with the current regulations for your geographical area.
Safety Instructions and Warnings
• Do not attach the water source while the appliance is
connected to an electrical outlet.
• A shut-off valve, must be installed between the hose
line and the main water supply so that the water sup-
ply can be stopped if necessary. Do not install the
shut-off valve behind the refrigeration unit.
• The connection to the water supply may only be made
by a trained and licensed plumber.
• The water quality must comply with the drinking water
regulations for the geographical area where the appli-
ance is located.
• The icemaker is designed exclusively to make ice
cubes in quantities needed by a household and may
only be operated with water appropriate for this pur-
pose.
• All repairs and work on the icemaker may only be done
by customer service personnel or other trained person-
nel.
• The manufacturer cannot accept liability for damage
caused by equipment or water lines between the sole-
noid valve and the water supply.
General Remarks
IV. Area Requirements
Verify the following:
• Floors can support refrigerator’s weight plus approxi-
mately 1200 pounds (544 kg) of food weight. Not
all Liebherr products are designed for 1200 pounds
(544 kg) of food. Some units are smaller and total
weights may vary.
• Finished kitchen floor height is level. Refrigerator must
be shimmed to the floor level, or levelled, to make
sure, air vents are not obstructed.
• Remove anything attached to the rear or side walls
that can obstruct refrigerator opening.
• Cutout dimensions are accurate.
• Electrical outlet is in correct location.
Do not install this unit next to any other refrigerator or
freezer except another Liebherr model. Liebherr models
are designed to allow side by side installation. They are
equipped with a heating system to eliminate condensa-
tion when units are installed side by side. Installing this
unit next to any other refrigerator or freezer can cause
condensation or cause damage to the Liebherr unit.
To protect the refrigerator from possible
damage, allow the appliance to stand 1/2 to
1 hour in place before turning the electricity
on. This allows the refrigerant and system
lubrication to reach equilibrium.
Blocking For Safety
The anti-tip brackets must be installed to prevent the
unit from tipping after it is installed.

regulations on commercial use must be observed.
The appliance is set to operate within specific ambient
temperature limits according to its climate rating. These
temperature limits should not be exceeded. The cor-
rect climate rating for your appliance is indicated on the
model plate.
This is explained as follows:
